Subject: Fighting at Minus 40 degree
This is a first hand account of the fighting "on the ground" in temperatures up to minus 50 Fahrenheit. At -40 both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales meet. For those of us who dash into a 7/11 with the motor running its beyond comprehension.Here and excerpt:"we began our fatal withdrawal-fighting from house to house in snow up to our waist, each new dash leaving more of our comrades lying in the cold and snow,never to be seen again."
For a political overview of the the times and situation check wiki at:

Courage and heroism are the words we use to describe such actions,but only those that were there can tell of the cold and suffering they endured.
